Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She cuts you once
She cuts you twice
But still you believe
The wound is so fresh you can taste the blood
But you don't have strength to leave
[Verse 2]
You've been bought
You've been sold
You've been locked outside the door
But you stand there pleadin' with your insides bleedin'
'Cause you deep down want some more
[Verse 3]
When she says she wants forgiveness
It's such a clever masquerade
She's so good with her stiletto
You don't even see the blade
You don't see the blade
[Verse 4]
Ooh, she cuts you hard
She cuts you deep
She's got so much skill
She's so fascinatin' that you're still there waitin'
When she comes back for the kill
[Verse 5]
You were slashed
In the face
You've been left there to bleed
You wanna run away but you know you're gonna stay
'Cause she gives you what you need
[Verse 6]
Then she says she needs affection
While she searches for the vein
She's so good with her stiletto
You don't really mind the pain
You don't mind the pain
Whoa, whoa
[Verse 7]
She cuts you out
She cuts you down
She carves up your life
But you won't do nothin' as she keeps on cuttin'
'Cause you know you love the knife
[Verse 8]
You've been bought
You've been sold
You've been locked outside the door
But you stand there pleadin' with your insides bleedin'
'Cause you deep down want some more
[Verse 9]
Then she said she wants affection
While she searches for the vein
She's so good with her stiletto
You don't really mind the pain
You don't mind the pain
